Check the vendor's name. The buyer says "Darling, Ok if we pick up a cheap bike from a Chippendale when we're out on the weekend? "
Like the rest of you are saying, it can't be the bike that's exciting the bids.
Because retro bikes are the latest must have yuppie accessory in their inner city 'apartments' (flats), it's not good enough to have a $30K Vengie thingie on top of your $200K Euro AWD, you have to have a retro bike leaning up against the wall in your 'sitting room' (lounge room), otherwise what will all your yuppie friends have to talk about when they come around. "Oh that old thing, yeah you know, I just found it in the council clean up & thought it would be a nice cheap ornament" (after they've spent $5K on a full resto).
